A Call for Unity and Secularism
While addressing the gathering at Tipu Sultan’s tomb, Zuhaib Yousf Mir underscored the enduring relevance of Tipu Sultan’s ideals. “Tipu Sultan’s leadership extended beyond the battlefield. He believed in the principles of unity and secularism, championing the cause of a free and united India where diversity is celebrated. His fight was not just for Mysore but for the vision of an inclusive nation,” said Mir.
The PDP leader highlighted the pressing need for leaders embodying these values in today’s political landscape. “At a time when communal divisions are being fueled, we must revisit Tipu Sultan’s vision of a pluralistic and harmonious society,” Mir remarked.
Addressing Modern Challenges
Zuhaib Mir also took the opportunity to address contemporary issues threatening India’s secular ethos.

According to Mir, such events are deliberate attempts to fragment India’s secular fabric.
“Such provocations are aimed at undermining the unity and strength of our nation,” he stated. The unrest in Sambhal and controversies like those at Ajmer Sharif are stark reminders of how divisive forces exploit religion to sow discord. We must rise above these attempts and safeguard the ideals of secularism and inclusivity that form the foundation of our democracy.”
